The Quiet Viking

Thats just the normal QWERTZ layout we use in germany.
And that keyboard is about 6years old, I got it when I left my first job

I just googled the model number and Its probably about 13 years old in total :lol:

Keyboard looks good, just a strange lay-out for me ;)
 
Finish!

My build is now finished until I get the time to make put my custom loop in, I wont rush this one since its my first full loop and I want it to be pretty much perfect. If I make some progress I will of course let ya see it. :)

What I did since last time is not that much, but even that little stuff took me so much time that I'm still "late" with updating this log. Enough talking here it is "finished"

Yes there is clear Plexi in the front, but it is so damn clear you cant see it unless you play around with a camera.

The plexi is just leant against these plastic angles and the rest is friction which holds it in place, and that works very well

To get it out I cut off a corner in the plexi

Same with the top panel, just held in with these angles and friction

That switch was too the last thing I waited for, since my last switch did just decide to go dead. (Pics of it at the end as fun)

On the inside didnt change anything except the routing of my PCI cables, which I will def need to redo.

My pump I will use arrived about 2 months sooner then I thought :D

Its the Aquacomputer AquaStream XT Standard edition for anyone interested.

I will later pair it with the aquainlet like here:

Big things are coming!
 
BOOM *THREAD REVIVE*

Gotta say man, it's a great idea. Nicely executed too! Shame I didn't come across this earlier (I just randomly clicked your signature). Eagerly awaiting the watercooling! ;)
 
Well thanks for the nice words :D The problem with the watercooling is that I'm kinda fed up with this "case" any kind of radiators look silly in there, unless the 360 I could mount to the right of the PSU which you obviously couldnt see. But then the problem is that the temps are just barely good enough due to the limited airflow through the rad.
I already have something new in my mind but I kinda dont want to just throw 'The Viking' away...

Maybe if the top compartment / cabinet (I'm not sure what it is xD) is tidied up a bit it could fit a 360mm rad?

I certainly wouldn't throw it away. It's unique in every single way, it would be an absolute shame ;)
 
nice looking build man, clean as hell :)

Thank you. :D

I can fit a 360 rad up there easily

And I could even fit a 60mm or monsta(86mm) thick one in push pull with fans pushing air from the main chamber and pulling out of the roof. But it would be tricky af to route the tubing then although it wouldnt be imbossible
and the cable routing will be even harder
 
New Stuff Arrived!

These four beauties will swap in for my Enermax fans. Pictures of the result will follow tomorrow since it's dark already and I dont want to take even more grainy pics.
Stay tuned!

Anyone who would buy this piece? :D
 
Disappointed that Noctua doesn't hide the coloured cables on the back of the tbh, considering the price you pay for them.

Nice fans otherwise ;)
